Overview
About Me
Hi, This profile is representative of myself and my partner Sarah.
Last year we bought an old ambulance and converted it into a campervan, we then set off on a 6 months tour through Europe, visiting 18 countries over this time and making some amazing memories.
After a short visit back home and having sold the campervan, we spent a month working for an NGO out in Kenya before setting off on our 7 month tour of South East Asia.
Professionally I have mainly worked in corporate sales up until June 2023, when I decided this wasn't for me and there is so much more of the world to see.
Sarah is a plant biology research scientist and has worked in this field for nearly 6 years, Sarah still works 2 days a weeks as we continue to travel.
Once we have finished our SEA trip, we plan to move to Perth, Australia in January 2025, where we plan to set down roots for a couple of years.
We are both outgoing and upbeat people, we enjoy learning about new countries and cultures.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Spending time together as just the two of us and travelling the world is great, but we want to really get immersed with people locally, learn more about the culture and the language. Couchsurfing gives us the ability to do this and grow our connections in each country that we visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I think one of the amazing things we have done as a couple is after buying a decommissioned ambulance, we self converted it into a campervan which we called home and used to travel the world. We collected the van in March 2023 and completed the build in just 5 months, which was wonderfully exciting.
Sarah gained her PhD in Biology from the University of York which is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the hard work put in over the years.
Teach, Learn, Share
We are keen and happy to share our skills and experiences with anyone we meet.
We are both creatives who enjoy reading, writing and painting.
Although maybe not to good, we are still keen and passionate about it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
We are more than happy to share our time and talking of our experiences.
Both of us enjoy to be in the kitchen, preparing meals and sharing recipes we have learnt over the year, we believe that to break bread over a meal with new people is to create an intimate bond that will last for years.
